The Iconography of Ruby Bridges | Research Travel Vlog

Are you familiar with the image of Ruby Bridges?
This summer, I spent 2.5 weeks exploring the "viral" images of the 6-year-old civil rights activist in addition to investigating the ways in which other Black girls like Leona Tate, Gail Etienne, and Tessie Prevost changed the course of history.
This research would not have been possible without the support of San Diego State University's Division of Research and Innovation Seed Grant.

Such a moving video, this was like a documentary! I loved seeing the old photos and videos, and hearing the stories.

Thanks for watching, Emily! I'm grateful that I had those three weeks to let all of that history soak in.
